State and Central Governments, Food Corporation of India and other Respondents have been issued directive today by Mumbai High Court to submit their replies in writing within 2 weeks.  During the hearing of the Petition filed by BJP leader, ex Member of Parliament Dr. Kirit Somaiya, on wheat scam, Bench of Shri Justice J.N. Patel & Smt. Justice Nishita Mhatre issued this directive.

When Senior Counsel, Adv. Rajeev Kumar, on behalf of Dr. Somaiya, drew the attention of the Hon’ble Court about the distribution of rotten red wheat, State Government lawyer informed the Court that the distribution of the same has been stopped.

At that time, Justice Patel questioned what will the State Government do with this wheat, how the wheat will be disposed of?  He further enquired whether this wheat has been distributed all over the country.
